What is medical Tourism?

Medical Tourism is where people who live in the United States travel to other countries to receive medical, dental and surgical care at a significant savings while at the same time receiving equal to or greater care than they would have in the United States.

Medical Tourism and India

Medicine in India is as an ancient science, its history traces back to the early phases of The Indus Civilization. India has historically had a strong health care sector. Many healthcare facilities in India offer excellent quality of care, exceptional service and unequalled value for money.

India’s health care sector has made impressive strides in recent years. Major corporations like the Tata’s, the Apollo Group and many others have made significant investments in setting up state-of-the-art private hospitals in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. With use of advanced technology and the services of distinguished medical practitioners, these hospitals are in a position to serve a variety of medical needs and specialized services.

This “medical tourism” sector may grow to over $2 billion per year in 2012, according to a study by McKinsey & Co.

Home away from home

Though India is a developing country, it offers a wide array of experiences that can make one feel right at home.

Mumbai- the financial capital of India, is comparable to New York. Real estate in Mumbai and some other places in India, is the most expensive in the entire world. Most higher education in India is in English so you will be able to converse directly with all your care providers. You will find every comfort that you are used to at home. There is a wide variety of entertainment and shopping options, you will find all types of shopping malls, movie theatres, golf courses, amusement parks, bowling alleys, night clubs, health clubs and spas to name a few.
